Last weekend I used my new telephoto lens to catch these busy bees as they worked to collect the sweet offerings from my potato vine flowers.

West Sacramento Photo of the Day

Dedicated to preserving a bit of history while enjoying the present in our community. I have lived in West Sacramento since 1958; long before it was incorporated as a city that consolidated the three townships of Broderick, Bryte and West Sacramento. My father-in-law, Frank Norton, was born in Broderick in 1910 in a house at 421 B Street. The West Sacramento Photo of the Day website is dedicated to him-- in memory of his magnificent stories of the old days.
If you are interested in submitting a photo, would like to use one of our photos or want more information about our "triv-history" project, please contact editrixes Barbara , Debbie or Christy.

Beautiful photography! So crisp, so clear!
Nice work. I am surprised you had to use the telephoto lens, but you used it really well to capture these shots. You got a lot of detail in the last one too.
I can't hold my camera still enough so either use a tripod, monopod or the macro lens with IS.
Nice photography.
The bottom photo is my favorite. You had to be really close even with a telephote.
That bee is big enough to pick the flower and fly off with it! When our patio privet "tree" blooms soon it should be filled with as many bees as blooms. However, last year we noticed a distinct decline from years past.

These pictures are very neat!
Awesome photo! Are these the bees that our cell phones are killing?
